#6934, "sagging in the rear... just installed new springs/shocks..."




          

ok.. im not sure if anyone else suffers from this or even has yet to really realize it, but for some reason my car has been saggin in the rear since i have put my box in(2 10in subs) and also the spare tire is back there.. ok i have always noticed it had sat a little lower than the rest of the car.. so i supposed that when i put in my new springs and shocks it would fix this.. well i didnt.. still sags some.. the setup is prokits with illuminas.. did the work myself with some help of others. i mean i could tell it was a little lower right after i was done.. it seems so low that i can barely get 1 finger in there while on the front i can barlely get 2.. so i was hoping that someone out there knew more about this or was having the same problem, and so we can all determine a fix or what's not.. now the only weird thing about the install that i remember was that when i was putting the springs on the strut and puttin everything back together there was about 1/2 - 1 in of free play where the spring was not even compressed. everything was nice and tight as far as bolts, but yet the spring could be moved around freely.. weird i thought but i thought.. well probably normal or soemthing.. i dont think i got the wrong set of springs, but i guess its possible.. any input is appriciated..

thanks
